Diagnose computer fault?

It's at times like those that I feel like going and living by subsistence farming in a log-cabin in some remote locale, totally off the grid.

But then...

Testify, brother!

I used to take great nerdly pride in being able to dismantle and troubleshoot each every gadget and gizmo I owned, from my bike, through my PC, my theodolite, my camera, right up to my first car (a beautiful '85 Nissan Micra >sigh

Usher what memory does your PC have and what speed is your cpu??

Dunno, daBhuna. I'm at work. I think it's Pentium 3, or 4, and the memory is some gigabytes, or something.

:D

If you can give me the specs of your pc, I'll ask our techi guys to see what they think could be causing the problem.

Probably say turn it off an on (as per Quirkafleeg)but you never know!

Erm... 800 Mhz and 256 Megabytes? (Probably.)

That's very kind of you daBhuna. The missus thinks it's just 'clogged up'. (???)

There's a good programme called ccleaner (crap cleaner) which gets rid of all of your shite off your 'cuter. Takes a while but does the job.

I try & keep my pc free from shite, but when I ran it, it found tonnes of stuff which I didn't know I had.

It's a free download.
